Thanks for sharing your materials for Week 2. Wriritng a review is quite a challenge for this level so well done for coming up with a do-able and very user-friendly worksheet.
Th worksheet is designed in a very informal and friendly way – almost like a personal letter from you to the students. That’s very nice for this context.
I like the pre-reading questions – I’d number them. Numbering is always useful in case a student wants to refer to a particular item. In the last Q (Do you know what a review is?) you have lines for writing – but this is a Yes/No question so you might need to rethink the lines or the wording of the question.
Great using a short review by someone of the learners’ own age – motivating. Comprehension questions – really good as they guide stundents through every aspect of a review. I’d change 1. To What are the names …? (for clarity and to avoid ambiguity – they could answer ‘Yes’)
On the third and fourth pages, I’d number the tasks. Nice creatove task to draw a book cover – but I’d look at tthe wording and make it a bit clearer. E.g. Do you like the cover of the book? If ‘Yes’, draw it here. If ‘No’, draw another cover here.
A really lovely set of materials. I’m sure other participants will be happy to use them too. Well done.
Hi, Katherine. Good morning! Believe it or not, I took the numbering out on purpose. I used it in my first assignment, but here, with A1 students, I wanted to be more "informal" maybe, that´s the reason I´m not using numbers.

Excuse my typo in line one! I wasn't able to edit.
